I've been having some problem trying to set up printer sharing with two of my computers both running on windows xp pro connected to a router. One computer has a printer connect to it and is shared, but I can't get it to print from the other computer. I tried using the add printer wizard and it is not working. I thought this will be an easy process, I've been trying for a couple of weeks already off and on, but still no working. Any idea or solution will be appreciated. thanks

In Windows help, click Index, then type:

troubleshooting

Below that see "List of Troubleshooters"
Click the "File and Print Sharing" Troubleshooter.

See if that will help you.

I went through that and seemed like I set it up correctly, but I still can't get it to print. It is on the same workgroup too.
